Connecticut is a family-friendly state with hundreds of miles of perfect beaches and plenty to see and do. Most of the beaches are also parks that have playgrounds, areas to skateboard, play baseball and volleyball and also have restrooms and restaurants. Connecticut has over 15 lighthouses, from off-shore ones to those on the mainland, some of which are open to the public and there are three forts to see. The state also has hundreds of museums, house-museums and art galleries to visit and beautiful botanical gardens to explore, including the Dinosaur State Park and Arboretum which features 200 million-year-old dinosaur tracks and rare trees.
